The wrappers that attempt to slice the insulation (or whatever it is that they do) and essentially leave it in place on the wire are prone to make poor/no connection. (These can usually be made to connect by applying heat - a soldering iron works nicely - to the offending connection pin, but first you have to find the bad connection!) keith ericson at teklabs
